As I have said, I find it a huge stretch of the imagination to figure that acknowledging volunteers in general implies they were used for this specific task.

If you had some further quotes or evidence that he was meaning this, I am all keen to hear it, but from the source you quote, I can’t see the leap that you have made makes sense.

If you find my query here about the logic to be ‘trolling’ or try to conflate my asking you this here with a more jovial version on Facebook, well, that is on you and your ability to handle reasoned criticism.

Given the source you have quoted, the question he was replying to in which he mentioned volunteers was, does having heaps of cash help in politics? In that context he answered that volunteers are a help. Quite a general question to take that he meant specifically for the leaflet drop.

I am all for connecting hidden dots, I just query the finding of them when they aren’t really there.

But hey, at least this way you can keep an ‘honest belief’ defense if Craig thought this was serious enough for defamation🙂

No, Simon. The context was the leaflet drop. You are shifting the issue to suit whatever game you’re playing.

Do you deny that the issue was the leaflet drop?

Do you deny that another issue was funding?

And what is your take on the fact that the leaflet was delivered along with advertising material from a pizza outlet and another commercial company?

However, this doesn’t mean that every single question in the interview is specifically and only related to this topic.

The muppet was asked if having heaps of money helped in politics (in general), not if it helped in the leaflet drop. And he replied that volunteers helped (with politics in general) a lot.

My take on him using a commercial service is that it seems a cost effective method if you have the start up cash for it.

Let me see, so the upshot is he publishes leaflets with his own money and gets them delivered commercially… What is the big deal? None, unless you try to imagine he was implying that the volunteers he has in general helped with this specific drop.

He has volunteers, they didn’t do the drop, he also didn’t say , nor even, in my opinion, indicate that they did.

So you’re a fan of Colin Craig eh? Maybe you should make that a bit more clear.

Lol, fan of Colin Craig? No, not even close. I just don’t see a lot of point in trying to attack him over things that don’t exist, when there are plenty of good solid and valid reasons to take shots at him.

If Craig’s phantiom volunteers didn’t drop those leaflets then either Craig did it all himself or he got a commercial company to do it. All your doing is playing games and looking like a prize pratt in the process.

It’s fairly clear what craig was meaning in the article. Everyone gets it but you. You’re arguing for the hell of it and looking like a idjit in the process. Fact is that Craig hasn’t got a nationwide network of volunteers. He uses his money. What I don’t get is how you can be so thick that you don’t get this. Write your own blog and let us see how well you do. But no you’re too lazy.

Tell us Simon, when are you going to contribute a blogpost so we can nitpick what you’ve written and make sure it meets our approval? Or are you just one of those bored trolls that thinks you’re oh so clever?

I read Frank’s post and processed the info fairly well. It’s simple basic stuff. Your nitpicking is a pathetic attempt at trying to put someone on the defensive without giving a shit what his response to you was.

He spelled it out and you kept ignoring it, trying to make a point that didn’t exist. If you were on my blog I’d kick your juvenile ass to the kerb and delete your egotistical bullshit.

It’s a sign of your success Frank that you’re attracting right wing trolls. Keep up the good work.

By the way I actually saw my leaflet being delivered. The same woman dropped other junkmail into my letter box as well. So you’re on the nail Colin Craig didn’t use volunteers to deliver his trashy leaflet.
